<p>A technique for aiding in literacy development is presented. The technique includes an apparatus, method, system, and computer program product using Word Things to build on a foundation of language development and bring users (e.g., children) toward a world of literacy. The Word Things are comprised of a set of linguistic characters formed such that when the linguistic characters are arranged to form a word, the word forms a shape representative of an object represented by the word. In animated versions, the Word Things interact in a Word World environment, making letters, phonics and words come alive in a new and unique way by giving them a physicality that enhances appeal and comprehension.</p> |
